The Cloud Learning Path offers a comprehensive journey for individuals seeking proficiency in cloud computing across various platforms.
Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics over the internet ("the cloud") to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.
Cloud services offer advantages such as scalability, cost-efficiency, flexibility, accessibility, automatic updates, and the ability to offload infrastructure management to cloud providers.
Cloud computing deployment models include public cloud (services accessible to the public), private cloud (dedicated to a single organization), hybrid cloud (a combination of public and private clouds), and multi-cloud (using multiple cloud providers).
The purpose of this cloud learning path is to help individuals build a solid foundation in cloud computing and progress to more advanced topics. It covers major cloud platforms like Azure, AWS, and GCP, along with key services and concepts.
Container orchestration helps manage and deploy containerized applications at scale. AWS ECS, Azure Kubernetes Service, and Google Kubernetes Service, allowing you to understand and utilize container orchestration tools.
AWS S3, a highly scalable object storage service. It will teach you how to store, retrieve, and manage data effectively in the cloud.
The three primary cloud service models are:
Software as a Service (SaaS): Delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis.
Choosing a cloud provider depends on factors like your specific requirements, budget, existing technologies, and preferred ecosystem. The major cloud providers are AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and others, each with its own strengths.
Traditional hosting involves running applications on physical servers, while cloud hosting uses virtualized resources from a cloud provider, offering greater scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.
Cloud computing can be cost-effective, as it allows you to pay only for the resources you use, with no upfront capital expenditure. However, it's essential to manage your resources efficiently to control costs.
Yes, many applications can be migrated to the cloud. Cloud providers offer various tools and services to facilitate the migration process.
